Can you group by the custom field? (I don't think so, but try it to be
sure.) If you can, drag them to the mary smith group.

I am using Outlook 2003 w/SP3. I have created an Act. Mgr. field in my
contacts list and want to add a act mgr name to groups of contacts by
state,
i.e. (050=Mary Smith). I cannot figure out a way to copy/paste i.e.
050=Mary
Smith into multiple contacts at once. Instead I have to copy and past
each
one. Any suggestions out there? i'm looking at over 3,000 contacts to
add
particular mgrs to.
